Memorial Day, 2010

Things are quiet here today. It's a good day for contemplation.

Temperatures are forecast to be in the 90s for the first time after several weeks of below-normal temperatures. It's a pretty day. The garden is mostly in, and we had our first squash from the garden a couple of days ago. It's been cool enough that we're still getting a few peas from the latest variety, a super-sweet one (like super-sweet corn). And the little "summer turnips" were still good on Saturday. We'll see how 90 degree weather changes the flavor.

James and Uncle David took James' little son to see the Avenue of Flags at our little local cemetery, during his second outing of the day. Something he will remember for a long time. There was a ceremony there this morning as well. A good thing.

I started looking for thoughts about Memorial Day yesterday, in preparation for today. I found several, along with images and music. You might find something personally meaningful among the links here. Hope your day is a memorable one.
